Serving as the home of the High Elves and the protecting capital of the Halcyon Kingdom is the great forest city of Zenthêl. The City of Zen as Humanity call it is a place where the citizens want nothing more than the preservation and protection of nature. The City of Zen is mainly build atop the branches and around the trunks of tall trees that fill the forest surrounding the River of Zen. Bridges, catwalks, multistory homes and great nets all spiderweb though the branches of Zen City. The City of Zen is a place which is truly in tune with nature, animals of all kinds are not afraid to wander through town. Most have made alliances with the High Elves seeing them as no threat to nature. It is Human-kind that the animals and high elves have a thing against, thanks to the actions of the Laurentia Empire no doubt. One will rarely see a human walking about, but that doesn't mean the people here will make visitors feel unwelcome.

the Great OakThe Great Oak tree is the most Sacred place within all of the High Elven Halycon Kingdom. It is known to be thousands of years old and is the birthplace of the High Elven race. It is the single god, single deity and single thing the High Elf worship. It is here a High Elf is born and dies. Likewise it is the centre of the city and the heart of the Halcyon Kingdom. The tree is also home to the current Prince/Princess of the Halcyon Kingdom and is where the richest of the High Elven live. Rooms of all shapes and sizes are built atop it's branches, thousands of rope bridges connect each room. Near the trunk of the tree is the throne room, here the Princess/Prince conducts his/her daily business. The Great Oak acts as the cities Financial District, Military Headquarters and Governmental Headquarters all in one place.

Hanging BazaarAs one makes it further and further towards the heart of Zen City, one will find that the area around the Great Oak Tree becomes more and more dense with buildings, people and trees. It is in this dense area that one can find the Hanging Bazaar. The Hanging Bazaar is the heart of the Halcyon Kingdom's financial and commercial power. Shops, company offices, and small local sized good manufacturers literally line the treetops.

Magikami MonumentDeep beneath the Great Oak is a shrine guarded by two 3rd Rank Elven Warriors. It is beyond these warriors that a space of null energy, lies. Within this null energy zone, all forms of energy are rendered useless, except a small amount to keep a person alive. Within their pitch black charcoal coloured room as a single monument, an obelisk. This monument is the start of the Magikami Aspect.

Alcove of the Great FairyEast of the Great Oak, is another tree of incredible size, this tree is topped with a massive white stone and marble palace. Within his palace is the Great Fairy and her Guild of Fairy. A character comes here to gain the Aspect of the Fairy, granting them wings of flight and attributes that comes with that.

Hanging HomesLike the rest of the city, all of the peoples homes are high in the branches of the trees hanging and spider-webbing cross the canopy of the Zen City. Each home is of similar size and each one is made of woven vines that have been grown into these hanging homes for hundreds of years. Each home is passed from generation to generation or simply given to a new owner when needed. The homes at the heart of the city are the oldest and each time new one is needed it must be grown.

Hatching DensDeep inside a large petrified tree trunk are the nesting grounds of some of Kwandrivia's most ferocious but tame beasts. The beasts have come to trust and care for their nature loving friends and wish to make pacts with anyone who comes here.
